Blinkenlights, Demonstrate the use of the uSD slot for DIY hardware

The main change is to use only a single transfer and thus avoid tri-stating DATx during the command phase. To control the timing, we put the first word "manually" into the FIFO, wait until it has been sent on the bus, and only then DMA the rest. |

Ben Blinkenlights ================= This is an umbrella project for various items related to using the 8:10 card slot of the Ben Nanonote. The "flagship" sub-project is no longer the top-level LED board but the Universal Breakout Board, in ubb/ .

The application is a simple LED circuit, as suggested by David Samblas. The 8:10 card slot gives access to six GPIOs, a 3.3 V supply that can be switched on and off by software, and ground. We use a simple form of multiplexing to drive ten LEDs with this interface. Note that one should only light one LED at a time. If multiple LEDs are lit, they will share the current though the common resistor, and will thus be less bright than a single LED.
